Happy start of the week to you! And Happy Labor Day! Do you have big plans for the day? Or is your day free from labor? Either way, I hope you have a relaxing and enjoyable day.

And a new week is in front of us! Yay! I love fresh starts. So, with all the talk about ... Read More about Iron Skillet Cornbread
For the Love of Lamp Lights – The Purple Iris
Happy Friday! I hope you had a good week and have a wonder filled weekend. A couple weeks ago, a friend asked me to go to a warehouse sale, and I snapped these pictures of the overhead lamp lights.

We have had many rainy days lately, and I guess that is what inspired me to decide to simmer a dutch oven of soup. Since The Salesman's diagnosis of diabetes, I've been paying closer attention to the glycemic index. In looking through the THM Cookbook, there is a lot of good information shared in the preface of this recipe, including:Chana Dal has a rating of 8 on the glycemic ...
